Diagram for 8V engines, two
crankshaft positions
1 Cylinder A1 is in firing TDC
2 Cylinder A1 is in overlap TDC
I Inlet valve
X Exhaust valve
Checking valve clearance at two crankshaft positions
1.
Check TDC position of piston in cylinder A1:
• If the rocker arms are unloaded on cylinder A1, the piston is in firing TDC.
• If the rocker arms are under load on cylinder A1, the piston is in overlap TDC.
2.
Check valve clearance with cold engine:
• Inlet valves (long rocker arm) = 0.3 mm
• Exhaust valves (short rocker arm) = 0.5 mm
3.
Check all valve clearances in two crankshaft positions (firing TDC and overlap TDC of cylinder A1) as
per diagram.
4.
Use feeler gauge to determine the distance between valve bridge and rocker arm.
5.
If the deviation from the set value exceeds 0.1 mm, adjust valve clearance.
Adjusting valve clearance
1.
Release locknut (1).
2.
Insert feeler gauge between valve bridge
and rocker arm.
3.
Using angular screw driver, set adjusting
screw (2) so that the specified valve clear-
ance is provided.
4.
Feeler gauge must just pass through the
gap.
5.
Tighten locknut (1) with torque wrench to the specified tightening torque, holding the adjusting
screw (2) to prevent it from turning.
